Additional information
Wall-shear stress is well known to be a contributory factor in atherosclerosis development; its accurate calculation is of utmost importance. In most studies, arterial walls are treated as a smooth surface. Our preliminary CFD study showed that if we zoom in to the wall and make the endothelial lining visible, the wall-shear stress value varies dramatically at different locations of an endothelia cell. The presented study further investigated this difference by using a more suitable technique: the lattice Boltzmann method. The model also allows study of the interactions between the glycocalix and red blood cells.
